opioids

Gov. Greg Gianforte’s administration has proposed installing two dozen naloxone and fentanyl testing strip vending machines around the state.

With drug overdoses on the rise and fentanyl leading the way, the United Way of Missoula County has partnered with a number of providers to place four Naloxone vending machines around the city in hopes of stemming future deaths.

In each state, settlement funds are divided in varying percentages among state agencies, local governments, and, in some cases, councils that oversee opioid abatement trusts.
